Water in driver side footwell
Cleaning my car yesterday I noticed the carpet was a little damp on the driver’s side. Today driving home from a cars and coffee that got shit down from heavy rain I reached down and could feel water pooling a little bit, enough o make a little splash when I pat it. It looks like it is coming in from between the two trim panels on the front of the door opening, but I can’t fogure out why or how to get the panels off. I soaked up as much water as I could and used a hair dryer to dry off more. Any ideas of how to get these panels off, or what I could do to stop this aside from not driving in the rain?

I just read the thread referenced. I noticed that early on in the thread I suggested using a smoke test machine to find water leaks. I still highly recommend this procedure. Had the OP in that thread used a smoke test machine he may have averted the several weekends of major disassembly to trace down the leak.
Smoke test machines can be had for under $150 (I have a Stinger brand one), or one can be built using a quart paint can and a few dollars in parts. The cheap smoke test machines use mineral oil as the smoke generating liquid, which is not pleasant to smell, so using it for finding interior leaks may not be the best idea. Using a professional smoke test machine that uses smoke-generating compounds that don't smell would be the better option. My 2 cents.
